Mini-Lecture - 100 XP
Well you have made it to the final unit of the Gamifying the Classroom. All your hard work has brought you to this moment. You spent time in Unit 1 developing your understanding of gamification, followed by exploring game mechanics such as badges, boards, and experience points in Unit 2.
The only thing left to do is develop and implement game mechanics in your own classroom setting!
Activity Board - 900 XP
Unit 3's Activity Board will look slightly different than the ones used in Unit 1 and Unit 2. Each activity on the board will require you to design either a badge, experience point system, or board to be utilized in your given classroom context.
Your Unit 3: Activity Journal will provide a place for you to input the mechanics you create for this final unit. In order to complete Unit 3 you must earn the usual total of 1000 XP, which means you will need to design at least 1 example of each of the three game mechanics covered in this course.
